Full question:
In a basketball game, Elena scores twice as many points as Tyler. Tyler scores four points fewer than Noah, and Noah scores three times as many points as Mai. If Mai scores 5 points, how many points did Elena score? Explain your reasoning
Answer and explanation:
We start from known to unknown. We know that Mai scored 5 points and so we work from here.
Since Mai scored 5 points and Noah scored three times as many points then Noah's score = 3×5= 15 points
Since Tyler scored four points less than Noah, Noah's score= 15-4= 11 points
Finally Elena's score is twice that of Tyler hence Elena's score =2×11= 22 points
Let the numbers be x and y.
x*y=HCF*LCM=6*60=360
thus
y=360/x
next we find the list of combinations of x and y and test if they satisfy the conditions above:
(6,60),(12,30),(18,20),(24,15)
out of the above, only (6,60) and (12,30) satisfy both conditions. Thus our answer is:
(6,60) or (12,30)

Step-by-step explanation:
B= votes Billy got
K = votes Keeton got
B = 3K
B+K =20
Substitute the first equation into the second equation
3K + K =20
Combine like terms
4K =20
Divide both sides by 4
4K/4 = 20/4
K =5
